Matt Turner, the goalkeeper for the United States national team, has officially completed his transfer to Nottingham Forest for £10 million, and Arsenal is expected to replace him with David Raya.
After his presentation on Wednesday, Turner stated the following on the official website of Forest:
“„It feels great to be here. It’s something I’m really looking forward to, it’s a great challenge and a great step in my career. When I heard that there was interest to bring me here, it just felt right for my family, it felt right when my agent spoke to me about it and it feels like the right move for me right now. The manager and the backroom staff, everything about the club has a little sparkle to it. It’s felt right from the start and I’m happy it’s got done. I’m looking forward to making a connection with my teammates, the fans and the city. I’m grateful to be here and can’t wait to get things started.- Matt Turner
The decision to sell Turner was made by Arsenal as they continued their chase of Brentford goalkeeper David Raya, who is rumored to have agreed to a £30 million ($38 million) transfer to the Emirates. As soon as the new season begins, it will be anticipated that Raya will battle with Ramsdale for the No. 1 slot in Mikel Arteta's lineup. This is due to the fact that Turner's services will no longer be necessary.
